Hey all! I am finally attempting to post my build. I got the boat in early 2011 and started my build soon after. The boat had been in my step dads back yard since 1991 and before that was in Illinois with the original owner who had bought it new back in 1976. I received the temp title that came with boat when first purchased, and the owners manual with a Starcraft catalog from 1976 which was very cool to look at. Unfortunately I had no title so I went through ITS and got it registered and eventually titled. Here it is once I cleaned it up, and I had already replaced the transom.
This is when I cut out the middle bench. I then proceeded to move that middle bench up closer to the front bench and cut and rivet it there so I use it as part of the frame for the deck.
I painted the inside a teal color, it was on sale at Home Depot.
I did the outside black
I did the frame work for the deck out of some aluminum angle and an old aluminum door that I found in a dumpster. It ended up very solid.
Cut a hole in the rear bench for my switch panel and some dry storage.
As far as electrical goes I installed 5 green LED strips, fish and depth finder, stern light, and bilge pump.
